Allied Gold Mining, the gold miner with significant interests in Papua New Guinea, says the government has confirmed two of its key licences in the country are "legally in good standing".
The written confirmation from the Mineral Resources Authority has come in response to reports that landowners may try to replace Allied as the 100% owner of the concessions.
The reports arose from comments by some provincial and island representatives although Allied is emphasising a public statement by landowners which last week offered "continued support" to the company.
